Red Shutter, oil on gessobord, 7x5"
This painting almost required nearly the entire thing to be scrubbed, but instead I scrubbed the necessary parts (nearly all of it in the end!) to make it the symmetrical neighborhood home that it is. This house was so "perfect" that the mulch even matched the shutters.
One of the difficulties I have been having that I didn't mention before is, with this series I switched back to small, small gessobords. I had been painting larger finally, throughout the summer, and as I had originally planned on doing a 30/30 challenge, I cooked up as many small boards to complete a months worth of paintings. When I changed my mind on the challenge, I used the boards anyway. What a difference 4-6+ cubic inches makes with a brushstroke. All in all, the work has been successful if I may add, in my humble opinion.
